A wonderful lexical database for the English language by Princeton University (2010): it groups english words into sets of synonyms called synsets.

Watch the video on how Wordnet works in Scribis 3.0

All synsets are connected to other synsets by means of semantic relations like hyperonymy, hyponomy, meronymy, holonymy, troponymy and entailment. For example, if you type witch in the editor of Scribis, you will get:

You'll get many other results: witch intended as [enchantress, witch], as [beldam,beldame,crone,hag,witch], as [water witch], ... but also as [witch’s brew], as [witch hazel], ...

As you see, for each word are indicated [synonyms], [meaning] and [relationships] with their [id], a number that identifies every synset and that you can click to continue trying to expand your imagination.

Indeed, you can trigger an explosion of images. If, for example, you click on the synset [imaginary being,imaginary creature], which is the hypernymy of witch and indicated above by the color blue, you can explore hyponyms of [imaginary being,imaginary creature]. You'll get:

And clicking again, you can continue this beautiful fantastic journey through the words and their relations
